I want Mangione to run for congress. Since we've set the asinine precedent that you can't face consequences for crimes if running for office

    That is the fanciest ping pong paddle satchel I've ever seen! It's also the first.

    I think it's just a happy accident with the way they were dressed and looking.

    @Passerby6497@lemmy.world asked why the two were in the meme. It's distracted boyfriend meme. Their inclusion in the meme only makes sense if you know they're dating. Your reply seems a bit harsh.

    How did you get a blurry photo of Luigi?

    Probably by taking a sharp image of luigi and blurring it.

    I would rather see a thousand corn memes than one meme about US politics

    Some people's eyes think "in news" means politics.

    In news for what? He didn't win a song contest. The only reason anyone recognizes him is because he briefly became the face of class warfare. You know, completely apolitical stuff

    It's an American guy who is being tried in America for killing an American health insurance ceo, which is a problem particularly in America

    And as we all know, things that happen in America stay in America. There's never any blowback for the rest of the world.

    Are we seriously arguing if American politics count as American politics or world politics??

    Is this bait? Am I being had here? Is this going in a screenshot?

    Just in case you're serious, I'm not the person who complained about politics being present. I'm just baffled that they were getting piled on because people either think or pretend to think that Luigi isn't a political figure from the US.

    It is an insane statement to say excluding US events feeds into hyper nationalism. The domestic news cycle of the US has no effect on the lives of most people in the world. This has nothing to do with nationalism, it's just geography. And Americans aren't some oppressed minority that need media exposure. Not to forget that this is a meme about something everyone already heard about, not a news story about a new thing. Being reminded of US politics in random memes simply has no benefit to anyone.

    It's fine if you like seeing memes featuring US politics though. You can argue that. You don't have to launder an opinion into an objective fact to do so.
